CBMM1 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 http://www.nerdist.com/2014/07/exclusive-todd-mcfarlane-on-his-upcoming-walking-dead-building-toy-sets/ These look pretty good. They look like a good scale for Minimates! What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Collector Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I hope they are to minimate scale. That prison tower and fence looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 It's amazing how Todd McFarlane can do all that stuff by himself. Seriously, Todd McFarlane's ego is so big it affects the tides. "Climate change" is just a fancy way of saying that Todd McFarlane is making the whole planet cooler. As for the sets, I might pick one up on clearance. The tough part is going to be merchandising these things because they look nothing like traditional brick sets. They're more likely to sell in the model aisle with the other glueless kits.

elmeaux Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) " these things are only a couple of inches tall......" [paragraph just above Governor's room pic] In context of the whole statement it does sound like he is saying the figures are a couple inches tall. Looks like it could be a cool displays for WD Minimates. Edited July 8, 2014 by elmeaux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffBohn Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Definitely interested. I didn't get that those were pictures of the actual building block toys, when I finally saw that my mind was a little blown. Hopefully the finished product looks as good, and we get an RV.

bzorio Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Cool! I'll try to use them for the Marvel Minimates as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Those sets look pretty cool. I think they're going to be just a tad out of scale though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmeaux Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Some of it looks out of scale to the included figures already so maybe that will swing it in our favor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Todd Mcfarlane hilariously misunderstands the appeal of Lego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmeaux Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I'm more concerned about durability than anything. Based on previous McF toys I've owned, I expect the blocks to just crumble when you attempt to put them together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK Collector Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 They look too small for minimates. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 They don't even look to scale to their own figures...there's no way the Governor would be able to walk upright through that door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterMiracle Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Hmmm...they look way smaller now. When are they due out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Will these work with ANY other bricks? I know how much Todd likes to do his own thing. I wouldn't put it past him to buck the paradigm just out of spite. The only good news I see here is that the guy doesn't have a clue why block figures are so popular so he'll likely never enter the category himself. That means licensing Spawn for Minimates might be possible. (Just have to add banks and bottle openers to the agreement as well.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Shakespeare Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 In the article, he says that they are compatible with other building sets. There's also a lot of nipple talk, but only a few pictures of said nipples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I noticed that but I took it to mean the sets were compatible with each other, not necessarily with other brands like MegaBloks and Lego. I guess we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimadman Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Crosspost from the comparability thread. I found the Walking Dead builder sets tonight. mini figure comparison The scale is a little off, but it's not bad. I really like the set as a whole. I'm tempted to buy the prison set. Here are all the pictures I took. http://imgur.com/a/F19Fn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzorio Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I just got the Daryl with Chopper building set! As I don't have Ghost Rider yet, Logan and Captain America will fight for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Mate Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I bought the governers room. Cool sets...but really are to small for minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzorio Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Well, I think this chopper is very compatible. I liked it a lot! Just need to wait for my Ghost Rider now. Meanwhile the Main Man mastered it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
